We were determined to achieve our clients wish for everyone to enjoy this building. This wasn’t an easy task as you will see from the before and after photographs. It was a tired and unloved building but all the work was worth it and we are delighted with the outcome. We hope you like it.

1. Philip Page of IWS transforms “Craft Court”, a tired 1970’s building, into a vibrant community hub and modern office
Working with an engaged client and project team all of SBHG’s requirements were achieved to budget and programme including:
A welcoming and supportive area for residents
An attractive training area with refreshments
Flexible in-house meeting and training space
Drop in work space for SBHG employees
Storage space for tools and equipment to maintain SBHG’s 5,000 + properties
“I have recently had the genuine pleasure of working with Philip on the re-design and re-launch of our community hub office space in Hammersmith. Philip took our unloved and unused building and brought it back to sparkling new life - his intelligent and sensitive design has ensured a long term future for the building for years to come. Philip is passionate about delivering excellent results, has an amazing eye for detail and really listens and understands his clients requirements. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending him”. David Blackburn Chartered FCIPD
